Upstream information

CVE-2011-2483 at MITRE

Description

crypt_blowfish before 1.1, as used in PHP before 5.3.7 on certain platforms, PostgreSQL before 8.4.9, and other products, does not properly handle 8-bit characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine a cleartext password by leveraging knowledge of a password hash.

Note from the SUSE Security Team

This issue affects SUSE Linux. It however only affects passwords that use special characters with bit 8 set, like e.g. german umlauts. The usual english ASCII character set does not contain characters with bit 8 set and is safe.

A fix for this issue is not trivial, a reliable working method is currently developed and will be delivered soon.
